I went yesterday. Twice. I wasn't planning on it, but D took work off for other reasons and we wanted to see my SIL before she left on her road trip tomorrow. So we went. First with my boys and then I told H about it and we went with my niece. I love IKEA because they seem to be the only place that understands the concept of small space living. Since I first discovered IKEA 3 years ago while looking for ideas for living in our 200 sq ft apartment, I have anxiously wanted one nearby to shop at. I've mentally planned trips to Phoenix just to shop at IKEA. When we bought this place a year ago, we knew we could make it work because of some of the ideas from the IKEA website. The last 2 months I've been pouring over the IKEA catalog, remodeling my entire home in my mind: shelving, cabinets, storage and more storage.

I don't really feel like blogging anymore. I keep trying to think of things to write and nothing feels ... important, I guess, enough. So many things that were once important to me seem rather trivial now. Death makes you stop, think, and reevaluate things. At least for me it does.

About Me

I'm a stay at home mom of four with a bit of a crunchy side. I started wearing jewelry again. It's ok, I guess. I love home improvement, sewing, gardening, and learning. I write about my yard, homeschooling, trying to make my small house work for us, and general life stuff. I love small homes.
